Genie Z45/22 Turntable rotates to fast

Tacks ยท 2018-02-19 20:31

I just bought a 95 Genie boom lift. The turntable rotates to fast from the platform both ways. From the ground switch it is fine. The rotate is on a handle with a boom up-down also. I checked resistance on the potential pots? On both of these and they seemed close, the up and down works right. Any ideas where to start? Serial # Z-45-002457 Thanks for any help. Tom

    does it not go slow if you only move the stick a little?

    No, It jumps to fast rotate. Nothing at first.

    http://manuals.gogenielift.com/Parts And Service Manuals/data/Service/Z Booms/IO/32960.pdf page 158 section 7-4 (Repair Procedures, Platform controls, Turntable rotation controller adjustment) follow step 1-10 *Make sure you have at least 12v at the positive terminal on the joystick while activating the turntable rotate function with the engine running.*

    THANKS, I made the adjustments per manual Johndoe pointed me to. Mine is not the same but trimpots are marked so no problems. Works great now, 20 minutes and what a difference. THANK YOU BOTH for the help. Tom
